The acquisition of two 50MW projects totalling 400MWh of capacity marks the developer’s first entry into Poland, which is fast becoming a key market for energy storage in the Central and Eastern Europe region.
Polish utility PGE Group has launched a tender for the design and construction of a battery storage facility with a minimum capacity of at least 900 MWh. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s DTEK has completed the acqusition of a 532 MWh battery storage project in southern Poland. Image: Sandia National Laboratories, Wikimedia Commons From ESS News
The energy storage pipeline figures for Poland should perhaps be taken with a note of caution: Umeda claimed some developers submit projects as battery storage in order to get a connection quicker, when in reality they intend to develop renewables.
PGE Group is set to construct Europe’s largest energy storage facility, with a capacity of up to 263 MW and a minimum of 900 MWh, near the Żarnowiec Pumped-Storage Power Plant. The project, expected to be tendered in mid-2024, aims to support the balancing of PGE's land and offshore wind farms on the Baltic Sea.
State-owned PGE Group, which is Poland’s largest power producer by sales revenue and net profit, said earlier this month that it will open a tender for contractors to work on the country’s biggest planned BESS project to date.
The project, expected to be tendered in mid-2024, aims to support the balancing of PGE's land and offshore wind farms on the Baltic Sea. Funded by the National Recovery Plan, the storage facility will enhance the stability of the National Power System during the energy transition and provide a stable revenue source for PGE.
